General Tormek Questions / Re: Is the SB-250 black stone ...

So I am going to add a 250mm CBN 80# Grid as soon as possible

Have you decided which one?

My apologies
I just noticed this question now.
No, I haven't. The Aussie guy that used to sell CBN wheels appears to be shut down. I finally got my T8 and I am impressed with the original SG-250 Wheel that comes with it. Despite this, it just confirmed that a fairly "coarse" CBN wheel would be of benefit for re-shaping knife/tool bevel edges.
I prefer "Wet" CBN/Diamond wheels as I don't want any airborne dust in the room where I use the equipment, due to my Solar Inverters being located in this room.

What I wrote in a previous message New angle jig KS-123
I had the pleasure of testing the new angle setter KS-123. It is based on ideas from Perra and meets all expectations.
Quote from my conclusion:
It's a wonderful tool, well designed and beautifully realized. I will definitely start using it. So no more 'Dutchman's tables', kenjigs, spreadsheets or apps on smart phones or tablets. End of an era that began on April 14, 2014 with my publication of "Simple adjustment of the grinding angle". It took 10 years, but now it can be even simpler and more accurate.

Attached is my test report in PDF file.

$50? I'm amazed. I was expecting it to be a lot more. This is the same company that charges $80 for a rubber mat after all.

I can't wait to order one.
